Josh Hoey prize money
Josh Hoey has been paid $39,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 755th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1500 m, one of them a win.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2025 | 800 m | 1st | $20,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2025 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis EBS 2025 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2025 | 800 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | 1500 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | - | $39,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $39,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Josh Hoey won?
$39,500, which ranks 755th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes in 2025.
What is Josh Hoey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 800 m at the 2025 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Josh Hoey gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the men's 800 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Josh Hoey won?
One of six, worth $20,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $1,000.
How much has Josh Hoey won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Josh Hoey earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
